John Makhoul

John Makhoul is a prominent researcher in the study of speech signals and is chief scientist at BBN Technologies.[1]

Makhoul studied electrical engineering, completing his undergraduate education in 1964 at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. One year later he received his master's degree from Ohio State University and in 1970 he finished his doctorate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2] Since 1970, he has worked at BBN.

Makhoul's work on linear predictive coding was used in the establishment of the Network Voice Protocol, which enabled the transmission of speech signals over the ARPANET. In 2005, he led the BBN team in the DARPA GALE program.

Awards

Makhoul was the recipient of the 2009 IEEE James L. Flanagan Speech and Audio Processing Award. In 2016, he was the recipient of the ISCA Medal for his contributions in speech and language processing.[3]
